Wikipedia:WikiProject Crime and Criminal Biography/Terrorism task force

 | This task force, an open group of Wikipedia editors, is believed to be semi-active. Although there may be fewer editors here than in the past, anyone is welcome to participate in the group or to leave a message for us. Remove the

The Terrorism task force is a task force that was founded in January 2006 by Sherurcij hoping to address the lack of information about individuals and events commonly associated with terrorism. Its parent project is Wikipedia:WikiProject Crime and Criminal Biography.
While we have to date limited ourselves to acts of violence against civilians by Violent non-state actors ("VNSAs") for political gain, users are encouraged to add their own new focus. It is impossible to fully separate "terrorism" from "counterterrorism".
This page contains suggestions about articles which should be created or need additional work. It is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of several Wikipedians, and you are always welcome to join, or ask questions.
Articles related to this task force's scope should be tagged by adding {{WikiProject Crime and Criminal Biography|terrorism=yes}} to their talk page.
Goals
Our goals are to create, expand, and maintain articles relating to the subject of terrorism.
